The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 28, 2013 and September 11, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 8, 2014 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
